After a long and messy winter, spring has finally arrived in New England, and with it comes a need to assess your air conditioning situation. Most of us are accustomed to traditional centralized models, which cool the air in a single location, then blow it through your home with a series of ducts. But not every home can support such ducts and other factors may prevent you from using a centralized system the way you’d like.

In those situations, the benefits of a ductless air conditioning system should not be discounted. If you’re looking at making a change to your HVAC system this spring, you might think about the advantages ductless cooling can provide.

We’re emerging from a long winter, but with spring right around the corner, temperatures are going to start to climb. With them comes higher humidity levels, and by the time summer hits, our Reading, MA atmosphere is going to resemble a swamp. That puts a great deal of strain on air conditioning systems, which can handle high humidity, but only crudely and using a great deal of unnecessary energy to boot.

Winters are long and brutal here in New England, and your air conditioner is probably the last thing on your mind with so many more pressing issues to contend with. But spring will officially be here at the end of the month, and soon enough, we’ll trade our freezing temperatures for high heat and higher humidity. When that happens, your air conditioner needs to be ready to go, and if your existing unit is older and struggling, you should seriously think about replacing it before it’s needed.
